The Plains and Pueblo Reservoir lie about 20 minutes east of

enterprise and culture. The city of Florence has become a mecca for
antique dealers and shoppers. Penrose is rich in agricultural produce,
especially apple orchards, and Wetmore is a fertile ranching community

The Climate in the area of the Arkansas Valley has been
known as the "Banana Belt". Winters are generally mild and summers are
warm but comfortable. Fremont County
is a great place to live and enjoy.
